[xmca] Peter Smagorinsky on the Psychology of Art

[Andy Blunden <ablunden@mira.net>]

Many of you may be interested in the latest addition to the 
collection of CHAT videos on vimeo.com:

The video is an interview recorded via Skype in Melbourne 
Australia, with Peter Smagorinsky in Athens, Georgia USA, on 
Vygotsky's Psychology of Art.

Apologies for the quality of the video at my end, but 
fortunately, you won't see much of it. The quality of the 
video and audio at Peter's end is OK.

In a 30-minute interview one can't go too deep, but Peter 
does a marvellous job of stimulating interest in the topic 
rather than pontificating, and offers new angles on a number 
of issues of interest to everyone on this list.

Peter has a paper in an upcoming issue of MCA. I read the 
paper and this gave us the basis for the interview. This is 
something anyone of us could do, interviewing an MCA author. 
Peter's interview is not intended to be at the level of peer 
reviewed research, but is a great introduction to the topic 
of the journal article. Future xmca discussions would 
possibly benefit from such interviews. The whole job is done 
with Skype (which is free) and Vodburner which you can 
'hire' for $10 a month, and includes a somewhat clunky but 
adequate video editing tool.

Anyone interested in emulating this idea?

Andy
